Newsells Park Stud has announced its stallion fees for 2025, with the new stallion, Isaac Shelby set to start his career at a fee of £7,000.  Serial Group 1 winning sire, Nathaniel, who enjoyed a strong year with yet another Classic winner in the filly You Got To Me, will see his fee increase marginally to £20,000 for 2025.  Both Without Parole, (whose first crop will be Classic contenders in 2025) and A’Ali, (whose first two-year-olds are set to run next season) remain unaltered at £8,000 and £5,000 respectively.  (All fees are payable on 1st October, Special Live Terms).
 
Commenting on the fees, Newsells Park Stud’s General Manager, Julian Dollar said: “We are delighted with the extremely positive reaction we’ve had to the news that Isaac Shelby will be standing with us next year.  As Night Of Thunder’s first son to stand at stud,  and  a top class Group 2 winning two-year-old, a brilliant winner of the Greenham and only just beaten in the French 2000 Guineas at three, he has a lot to offer.  His good looks should give breeders great confidence.
 
“I don’t know what more I can say about Nathaniel.  With You Got To Me an impressive winner of the Irish Oaks this year, he delivers new Group 1 winners and Classic winners on an annual basis, but at a fraction of the fee of his peers.  When one considers that only three stallions have produced the winners of the English, Irish and French Oaks this Century and that the other two were Deep Impact and Galileo, you appreciate the company Nathaniel keeps.  Only two other active stallions have sired the winners of the Epsom Derby and Oaks, Frankel (£350,000) and Sea The Stars (€250,000), so you can’t help but see what incredible value he offers breeders who dream of breeding a Classic winner, but at an affordable fee.
 
“Without Parole has made a great start at stud.  10 individual two-year-old winners coming at a clip of 40% winners to runners and peppered with smart juvenile performers like the multiple Group placed Fiery Lucy, Stakes placed Sea To Sky and 96 rated Mr Chaplin, give a glimpse of what’s to come with his first Classic crop next year. 
 
“Finally, A’Ali’s yearlings looked exactly like it said on the tin and sold exceptionally well.  Like his sire, they had the looks and the athleticism to match and gave the impression they are likely to be just as speedy and precocious as their dad.  With prices including 200,000gns, £150,000 and £130,000, and an average of £34,000, it was pleasing to see breeders’ getting a healthy return on his covering fee. “
